From Munro Live.
This EV Motor Has No Magnets?! In this teardown, we dive deep into the Nissan Ariya’s Externally Excited Synchronous Motor (EESM) — a rare and unique design in the EV world. Unlike most electric vehicles that use permanent magnets and rare earth materials, Nissan went a completely different route.
In this video, Paul from Munro Live takes apart the Ariya’s front motor and explains how it works, why Nissan chose an EESM, and what the advantages and challenges are of using this magnet-free design. From rotor construction to stator windings and excitation systems, we uncover everything that makes this EV motor stand out.
